]]>As you start a new job, you may be having a hard time letting go of previous experiences. However, to be successful, it’s critical to let go of negative experiences so you can begin a new job with a clean slate. Doing this will set the stage for transformative growth in your career, as you’ll be ready to take on new challenges with ease and confidence.

Here are three tips for how to let go of the past and use it as a learning lesson for the future.

1. Evaluate how you handled toxicity in your previous job.

To truly learn from negative experiences, you must engage in some self-reflection and think about your role in past situations. For example, did you fail to communicate your feelings to your boss? Did you put up with a passive-aggressive co-worker without ever politely confronting them? Did you fail to handle a bad situation to the best of your abilities? Thinking about how you dealt with prior circumstances will help you identify ways in which you can improve your own actions and behavior in a new position.

2. Make company culture a top priority in your job search.

In many cases, negative experiences are a result of poor workplace cultures. As you search for your next job, making company culture a top priority will help you remember what’s important in a job.

While it’s tempting to get lured by a certain job title or salary, evaluating a company’s culture will be just as vital for projecting your long-term success at the organization. You can get a sense of company culture by visiting employers’ websites, social media pages and – most importantly – hearing directly from individuals who work there about their own experiences.

3. Recognize what’s out of your control.

No matter how perfect a new job may seem on the surface, you’re bound to experience some form of negativity in any role. Recognizing this from the start will help you set realistic experiences for your job, as well as expectations from others around you.

Remember, you can’t control people’s emotions or what they think of you. However, you can control how you respond and the choices you make on the job, both personally and professionally. Harnessing your own power will serve you well throughout your career, even as you experience hardships along the way.

]]>Do you feel as though your success in landing a new job is out of your control? Well, if you’re waiting around for someone to wave a magic wand, you’ll be out of luck!

Taking matters into your own hands and being proactive with your job search is the only true way to land a new position on your terms. While it certainly requires hard work and effort, there are many ways you can increase your marketability as a candidate and set yourself up for a successful job search.

Stay Open-Minded

If you’re refusing to deviate from your dream job, you’re setting yourself up for failure. Being open to many types of companies and similar positions within your industry will help you explore new opportunities and discover a wider range of potential jobs. Rather than focusing on one specific company or role, pay more attention to the type of culture and work environment you aspire to be part of as an employee. Making a list of your values can help you identify the types of employers and jobs that align most with your career aspirations, as well as what type of culture in which you’d excel most.

Take Control of Your Story

You have complete control over your narrative as a candidate both in person and online. Understanding the message you convey to employers is key for positioning yourself as a leading candidate for the right types of jobs in your industry and presenting yourself as an ideal candidate to employers.

How can you take control of your story? You can start by making sure your resume, social media presence and other application materials and communications with hiring managers accurately describe your expertise and compel them to learn more about you.

One of the best ways to do this is to put yourself in the hiring manager’s shoes. Are you presenting yourself in way that’s professional? Do your background, experience and goals match the jobs to which you’re applying? Are you articulating your qualifications in a clear and understandable way? As you answer these questions, you’ll be able to make the best adjustments to your resume and online profiles.

Make Relationship-Building a Priority

When it comes to the job search, who you know is just as important as what you know. With every job interview comes an opportunity to meet someone who can possibly help you land your next job – even if it’s not a job at their company.

As you make new connections with hiring managers and recruiters, make it a priority to connect with them online and stay in touch. Even if you aren’t hired for a certain job, many hiring managers will keep you in mind for future opportunities at their organization or even refer to you another hiring manager in the industry. Regularly following up with individuals whom you meet on the job search will allow you to grow a network of valuable contacts throughout your career.

By putting the strategies above into action, you’ll put yourself in the driver’s seat throughout your job search, ultimately paving the way for a position that’s best suited for your qualifications and goals.

If you’re struggling to find a new position, working with a staffing partner can help tremendously!

]]>How Much Is Too Much? Three Suggestions for Cutting Back on Your Resumehttps://www.ontimestaffing.com/2019/03/04/cutting-back-resume-light-industrial-jobs/

Feeling like your resume is always a work in progress? While it’s a good idea to keep your resume updated, it can be easy to go a little overboard and cloud your resume with information that keeps hiring managers from understanding what makes you a top candidate. Hiring managers will not get in the trenches of reading every little detail on your resume unless they get the right information quickly.

To make the cut, you must be strategic with what you include to ensure the most important information stands out. Taking these steps to cut down your resume will allow it to showcase your industrial skills and qualifications in a way that’s meaningful and effective. Check out these three tips for optimizing your resume.

1. Be Strategic with Your Introduction

Job seekers often make the mistake of turning their summary into a full-blown biography which ends up being a huge waste of space. Rather than a full paragraph, consider making your summary a list of bullets that encompasses your experience and knowledge. Remember, employers don’t need to know every aspect of your career from beginning to end. What’s important is that you communicate your professional achievements and capabilities in an effective and succinct way.

2. Narrow Down Your Education Section

A common area of wasted space in any resume is the education section. While you may have multiple degrees, certifications and honors, it’s not necessary to include every education credential you have unless it’s relevant to the job in which you’re applying. If you’ve been out of high school, trade school or college for several years, you can remove sections about internships, academic honors, courses or extracurricular activities in favor of highlighting more job opportunities where you honed and showcased these skills.

3. Be Specific with Your Work Accomplishments

While it’s important to showcase all your relevant work experience, including every single detail of your past employment is not necessary. For each job description, focus on including three to five bullets that highlight your accomplishments from the position. When developing your bullets, think about what you specifically achieved during the role and use metrics when possible. For example, you may indicate that you “increased product sales by 15 percent within a 3-month period.” Narrowing in on the value your brought to the position – rather than rambling off as list of duties – will better demonstrate to the employer how you’d be an asset to their organization.

]]>Has your organization been experiencing high employee turnover costs? Poor performance and lack of employee job satisfaction can be attributed to many factors. However, management style is often one of the most overlooked causes of employee retention issues in the workplace.

While many organizations operate with a top-down management style, there is great value in evaluating the impact this type of management may be having on your workforce – and ultimately your bottom line. Over the years, many forward-thinking companies have turned to a servant leadership style in which upper managers provide full support to their employees to lead and make decisions.

As you reassess your management approach, here are three benefits a servant leadership style can have on your organization.

1. Employee Loyalty

Unlike traditional management styles, servant leadership encourages your employees to get involved in all aspects of the decision-making process. When your employees function as a group with common goals, a strong sense of loyalty is built over time. A loyal workforce can reap numerous rewards for your organization as a whole – including better retention and optimal performance. Most importantly, feelings of loyalty among your employees will foster better recruitment hiring outcomes, as your current employees will likely refer family and friends to your employment opportunities.

2. A Stronger and More Cohesive Culture

Because a servant leadership style imbues trust and honesty within an organization, your culture will inherently become stronger and more cohesive among your employees. When your team feels comfortable expressing themselves and going to upper management with their concerns, every employee will feel empowered and entrusted to perform their jobs with independence and integrity. This creates a bond among members of your team to turn to one another for help when needed, as well as provide each other support when challenges arise.

3. Higher Productivity

When your employees are given your blessing to lead within their departments and carry out their jobs to the best of their abilities, productivity within your organization will soar. Servant leadership goes against micromanagement, giving employees the freedom and flexibility to learn, explore and solve challenges on their own. As employees develop a greater sense of job satisfaction, they will be more productive in their day-to-day roles and feel more personal and professional fulfillment in their career growth.

Servant Leadership Enhances Your Ability as a Warehouse Manager

]]>Have you been applying to what seems like hundreds of jobs, only to hear nothing back? If you’ve been spinning your wheels in your job search, you’re not alone! Fortunately, there are many individuals and resources available to you that you may not know about. Whether you’re an experienced candidate or embarking on your job search for the first time, seeking the assistance of a staffing company can be greatly beneficial to your career.

Temporary or Seasonal Employment

If you’re like many candidates, you are likely laser-focused on securing permanent, full-time employment. However, a staffing company can help you find meaningful work in the interim which can be valuable for many reasons. First, a temporary or seasonal position can help you avoid employment gaps on your resume which can be a turn-off to many employers. Second, temporary jobs allow you to earn a paycheck during your search for a full-time position. Additionally, temp work can be beneficial in acquiring helpful references and gaining employment experience in your industry.

Free Help and Assistance

Unlike a career coach or online program, using a staffing company is free of charge. Because recruiters work directly for employers (their clients), it’s their job to find top candidates to fulfill their clients’ hiring needs. This means it’s in their best interest to help viable candidates present themselves in the best way possible to employers, which is why they’re committed to assisting you in the job search process.

Whether it’s providing feedback on your resume or giving you interview tips, recruiters seek to maximize the success of clients throughout every stage of hiring.

Confidential Opportunities

What many job seekers don’t realize is there are thousands of job opportunities each year that are not advertised to the general public. Working with a staffing company gives you access to a wider range of jobs that most candidates will not know about. As your recruiter gets to know you, they will be able to identify the types of positions that most align with your qualifications and present you with opportunities that match your profile as a candidate.
